Venus was the Roman goddess of love, or the equivalent to Aphrodite in Greek mythology. Its just a different name. Anyway, it is an interesting idea giving the conception to the moment where love was created and so much of humanity had that, and the gods had that sense of love installed within them. Or at least I think so.
